Synopsis
A nameless man, rich and single, manages his business with a strong, unwavering hand and no scruples. His competition is now leading a charge against him on the stock market, which prompts the man to remember a childhood game of beer bottle caps. A heart attack and the news that he might need a heart transplant determines him to head to a remote place, where the Danube river meets the sea, a place of simple people and age-old customs.
Director’s Bio
Sorin Marin was born on 11 February 1958, in Bucharest.
In 1983 he graduated from the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest, then worked as an engineer until the fall of the communist regime, in December 1989.
From 1990 through 2001 he held various business interests in IT, real estate and oil companies. In 2001 he withdrew from business and established ANONIMUL (Anonymous), a foundation focused on cultural and social projects. Among its cultural projects is ANONIMUL International Independent Film Festival, which takes place in Sfantu Gheorghe, in the Danube Delta.
“Caps” is his film debut.
Director’s Note
16 years ago I reached Sfantu Gheorghe, a magical place, where the Danube River meets the Black Sea.
There I understood that my adult life was a comprised of a series of games, that I was fighting to win every day.
I remembered those games of my childhood, when I was happy. A short while after my visit in Sfantu Gheorghe, I retired from business and began writing the creenplay and, in 2015,after many searches and hesitations, we started filming.
